I agree! Nothing from Ghana will be good for them. They will like to see walk around naked with our under-wears tied around our necks. GOD will not let it happen. Like cream in a drum of milk, we shall always rise to the top. May Lord Almighty continue to bless our beloved Great Ghana: Amen!!!

I see why he calls himself Tilapia. He was flailing like fish out of water trying to catch his breath. If he continues with such a poor stamina, he will just be a flash in the pan.

Kamoko won the fight as he controlled it beautifully

That boy is fundamentally sound and if he can work on his fitness, he can go really far!

His fundamentals are solid as

A FATHER'S NIGHTMARE! The guy was beating the shit out of Tilapia in front of his own father, who could do nothing about it. The Congolese should demand a RECOUNT! This boy is very far from a professional championship fight. It is going to require more than the 5GHC KENKEY!

Were you paying attention to the score sheet, or you just want to IGNORANTLY SOUND OFF. The score sheet, R1 was 5-0 Kamoko. R2 was 3-2 Kamoko. The round three score was not displayed on camera. Even if Kamoko lost by 0-5, he still wins. Only a knockout could have caused him to lose. I wish Kamoko had more professional, but holding, pushing, and shoving are NOT illegal in boxing.

What’s your point? They scored it for the wrong boxer. Kamoko needs to learn the fundamentals. He has physical assets but doesn’t know how to use them to his advantage. Long arms, but don’t know how to throw a jab; all he does is throw telegraphed looping punches, missing and thus getting tired. He was completely out of breath. The opponent controlled the fight, landing the meaningful punches; he should’ve been given the W.

Abu Kamoko needs to be talked to seriously to take his craft serious, no serious boxer dances before a fight at least after a fight is OK.

Ak, is three rounds, Kamoko won r1 5-0 r2 3-2, at this stage kamoko have 8 points and guy have 2, so if kamoko lose 0-5 to the guy in last round still kamoko wins by 8-7

Ghana had some great boxers but this boy is not going to be one of them. No serious boxer starts dancing before round one and I watched the whole fight. The Congolese boxer was robbed. This kind of decision will bring disgrace to Ghana boxing and it will be more difficult to bring good boxers to fight in Ghana because other boxers will feel that the boxing is fixed.

Banku's son has the basics and can go far if he learns the tricks.Boxing is not always about the strength.Mayweather beliefs the tricks work better.

This was not a controversial decision. Technically, he was the better boxer.
